You’d probably do profound psychological damage to yourself. It’s not deadly but that doesn’t mean it won’t affect you permanently to be stuck in some kind of a hell for what will feel like an eternity

Some people have accidentally taken several milligrams of LSD, whose full active dose is 100 ug, and they are fine. Every molecule's effects saturates at some point.
Yes, some people are fine, and some people are not fine at all. Even Terence Mckenna had at least one extremely bad trip(that we know of) on mushrooms that drove him to quit taking them for the rest of his life. That was with a lifetime of experience taking mushrooms and other psychedelics, and at a dose several orders of magntiude lower than the dose suggested by this paper.
And this is not a one-off thing, but a monthly regimen. So we're talking about taking a dose that's way beyond heroic, every month, for the rest of your life. That's so far outside the realm of responsible psychedelic use, I don't think any human has even come close to attempting it. The only thing that's for certain is there's no way of knowing what the psychological effects would be, but I have a hard time believing it wouldn't get extremely ugly.
Ram Dass tried to stay permanently high once, and ended up after some days drinking it from the bottle. Didnt work, still eventually came down.
I don't think Ram Dass ever came down. He blasted through Richard Alpert, and stayed on the other side permanently for the rest of his life.
